Blueberry lemon cake recipe

This morning I woke up with the sound of the rain. When I went downstairs, just like every morning my cat greeted me with a soft and seducing "Meow" which of course when translated means "Do you have any food for me?".

So you can imagine my expression when I discovered to my horror that overnight she had quietly but systematically munched her way through my lovely blueberry lemon cake! She is a well fed and pampered cat but a greedy one indeed. I was so annoyed, that I felt like ringing the PDSA to re-home her!

What a shame, I have to make this one again. I managed to take all the photographs though and try a couple of slices. Lemon and blueberries are a great combination, this cake simply melts in your mouth.

Dear Alida,
Love this Blueberry Lemon Cake..It really looks so marvelous and so inviting. Love when your children help out in your baking. They really are learning from a pro. Your kitty had a feast during the night, while you all were sleeping! They say that cats don’t like sweets, it really is not true. My cat loved sweets, especially he loved cheesecake and whipped cream. They are so funny…it was lucky that you were able to make this again. Great job….Thanks for sharing..Have a wonderful week..
Hugs Dottie 🙂

Alida, I just want to follow up and thank you for this recipe. Last week I traveled from Texas to Arkansas to visit my daughter. She invited guests over for a dinner party and I prepared a 4 course Italian meal and paired each course with Italian DOCG wines. Dolce was centered around this recipe. A square of the cake was nestled in a bowl with a scoop of locally produced lemoncello gelato and swimming in a shallow bath of Risata Moscato d’Asti. I knew it was a hit with the group when I asked if anyone wanted “seconds”. They then emptied the cake dish and finished the gelato…and took care of a couple more bottles of Moscato. Your Blueberry Lemon cake was a tremendous success and a wonderful end to a memorable evening. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Dear Steve,
I am really happy to know you made the recipe and that it was a success too! I created my blog for fun and it is my hobby. When I get nice comments like yours this is the best reward for me.
Thanks thanks so much Steve! 🙂
PS: You really are a food and drink connoisseur.. with lots of food, good wine, limoncello and gelato..I would love to come to dinner at yours!

Haha my cat eats cakes too!! I just discovered your blog yesterday and your recipes look amazing. Can’t wait to try this cake and many others. By the way I’m am Australian born woman now living in Italy…my parents were italian. I love how you have simplified many traditional italian recipes and they look even better than the original.
